Baud Rate
•
The Baud Rate for ECR Communications is selected here. The range available is
from 1200 to 38400 baud. The standard setting for Sharp ECR's is 9600. This
corresponds to a 5 setting with the 6112 PGM2 Job. The ER-A750, ER-A770, UP-
600/700 and UP-3300 can communicate at up to 38400 baud. A setting of 19200
gives good results providing the cabling is not of excessive length and in a noisy
(electrically), environment.

The ER-A750, ER-A770, UP-600/700 and UP-3300 can use a number of
Receipt/Kitchen Printers. These printers can have different number of columns.
The ER-01PU is 30 columns, but these ECR's can use up to 40 characters for the
Receipt Logo. The default setting is selected here.

Comms Retries
•
There can be various reasons for Communications to fail. The number of times to
retry is selected here. A setting of 2 should suit most applications, but a range from
0 to 20 is available.

You can give each ECR in the database a name to help identify it. This name along
with the ECR number will be displayed on all forms that refer to specific ECR's.

Modem Setup Utility
This Utility allows you to configure different modems to suit communicating with
Sharp
ECR's. Each setup can be stored in the database.
After the Preamble, each String (1 to 3) and the Postamble there is a Carriage Return
(except in the case of the Netcomm Factory Reset). NB The AT is added by the utility
when sending to the modem, so please don't add it to any strings you enter.

when sending to the modem, so please don't add it to any strings you enter.
The Setup form has three sections;
Preamble:
This is the first string sent to the modem, and has some fixed settings - a Reset and
two Factory Resets (one supports the Netcomm &F.)

String 1 to String 3:
These are three separate strings that are sent to the register in order after the
Preamble. Some settings need to be completed on their own like the +MS command
in String 2 on the sample form.

If you are programming a modem for use on a remote ECR, then setting the Baud Rate,
Parity, Data and Stop Bits is can be very important before programming the modem.
These settings are also stored with the setup in the database.

A setup can be as simple as doing a factory reset. In this case you leave String 1 to 3
blank and set nothing for the Postamble. There is a CheckBox for each of the 5 Strings to
send. You would normally Check these, except in cases where something you are
programming stops responses from the modem, like the string in String 3 below.
